Oh for Pete’s sake. Get lives people…or at least come into the real world.

I wondering if there’s any correlation or perhaps insight to some of the more economic ties in terms of the private sector function. I’m thinking of national companies like Walmart and their management divisions and regional supply chain centers. Not a Walmart bashing thing but it is one of the largest national economic actors right now. Their ‘economy’ is bigger them some states and heck a whole lot of countries.
Oil companies and distribution is another.

Yeah—it’s a technocrat’s wet dream. IIRC, we played an IBM-card based computer game called “River Valley” that simulated the operation of such a region.
